It’s not too late to get the perfect Father’s Day gift! If you are still on the fence as to what to get the special man in your life this Father’s Day, look no further! Essential oils make the perfect gift for anyone! You may be thinking….”Why would they want essential oils?” “There’s no way my husband or father would use essential oils?” Well, I am first to tell you, they will and they will LOVE them! When I first began my oil journey, my husband was definitely a skeptic. I think it’s safe to say, he now uses them more than anyone in the house! He even has his own personal bag he takes with him on a daily basis. Check out some essential oil gift suggestions below along with some DIY oil gifts for the Father in your life. This will be the year they will thank you for not getting them another tie, t-shirt, coffee mug or picture frame! 😉

Young Living’s Gift Suggestions

(click on image to enlarge)

As you can see in the graphic above, Young Living offers some great suggestions for Father’s Day! These include: PanAway, Stress-Away, Brain Power, Idaho Blue Spruce, Idaho Balsam Fir and DIY options, which includes, Cedarwood and Vetiver (for a bath and shower gel) and Tea Tree and Eucalyptus Radiata (for a beard oil). These are amazing suggestions and I know anyone could benefit from these oils.

Other Gift Suggestions

Shutran Essential Oil

As you may have seen in my post, “My June Essential Rewards,” I discussed how I purchased Shutran this month to give my husband for Father’s Day. Shutran was introduced at the Young Living convention in 2014. It is an oil blend specifically made for men and has since become a favorite! This year it was perfected even more when Young Living decided to reformulate it. It now contains Black Spruce and an increased amount of Idaho Blue Spruce by 45 percent, as well as increased amounts of Ylang Ylang and Lavender.

What is Shutran?

Surprisingly, Shutran is the new cologne for men! The aroma is fantastic for both men and women alike. This cologne you won’t have to worry about any harmful ingredients, because it is made with 100% pure essential oils. The best part? This cologne comes with the ability to support a healthy body!* All of us at some point or another have experienced that “slump” in the middle of the day where a nap seems really desirable. Shutran can come to the rescue! This is one the men will be taking with them to work! After just a few dabs directly to the wrists, it can increase alertness to the mind and body while boosting masculinity and confidence.*

Deep Relief Essential Oil

I added this one as a suggestion, because this is my husband’s personal favorite. We each have our own bottle and it goes with us everywhere. It is a very popular blend and in high demand! Unfortunately, it is currently out-of-stock, but keep it in mind for that next Young Living order!

What is Deep Relief?

It is a blend of Peppermint, Lemon, Balsam Canada, Clove, Balsam Copaiba, Coconut, Wintergreen, Vetiver and Dorado Azul oils. It comes in a convenient 10 ml roll-on bottle ready for use. I do have to add, Young Living recently updated their packaging for their roll-on blends and they are pretty impressive! Beyond the packaging though, this oil is a must-have for anyone! It is perfect rolled-on to parts of the body after exercise or any other activity.* It’s scent alone is invigorating and energizing.* We like to apply it to our temples, neck and forehead for the best Deep Relief.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender is great for Fathers and everyone else! Some of my husband’s favorite uses for Lavender are in the bath with Epsom salts for relaxation and in the diffuser for a peaceful nights sleep.* My Dad also uses it in the diffuser on a nightly basis and loves it so much, he asked why they can’t make a BIGGER diffuser for it to run all night! Haha! A bigger diffuser sounds nice, but isn’t necessary, because Young Living’s diffusers cover approximately 1000 square feet and a little oil goes a long way! You only need a few drops to experience the benefits!*

What is Lavender?

Lavender essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering top. For a Young Living 15 ml bottle of Lavender essential oil, it takes 27 square feet of Lavender plants! Isn’t that incredible?! I love how much care is taken for each bottle of essential oil. This is one of the many reasons why I love Young Living so much. Their process is detailed for us to understand and to experience firsthand, so we know we are receiving the best quality. For more information on their process, click on Seed to Seal.

As I mentioned above, Lavender is wonderful added in the bath for relaxation and diffused for winding down before bedtime.* It can also be applied topically to help with everyday stress and tension.* Also, it helps to support a healthy respiratory system and healthy skin.* It is the most gentle of the essential oils, which makes it useful for the whole family!

Mister Essential Oil

The name alone implies this oil was formulated with men in mind. We have not tried this oil yet, but have heard it is a beneficial for most men thirty and over. Mister is a blend of Sage, Fennel, Lavender, Myrtle, Peppermint and Blue Yarrow in a base of sesame oil. It helps to soothe everyday stress and promote greater inner-body balance.*

Oola Essential Oils

The OolaGuys have partnered with Young Living to create essential oil blends for seven key areas in our lives where we need balance and growth to achieve richness and fulfillment. These seven blends are called: Fitness, Finance, Family, Field (career), Faith, Friends and Fun. They can be purchased altogether in the “Infused 7,” kit or they can be bought individually. For more information on this kit and to see why these oils would make a perfect gift, click on Infused 7.

Beard-Softening Oil

‘Tis the season for beards! It was common to see beards more around winter time, but now they are stylish ALL year around, especially during hockey season! I know my husband and Dad are sporting one right now! There are many different recipes for a Beard-Softening Oil, but here is one to try below:

Let’s face it, being a parent, you come to LOVE sleep! Sometimes after a long day of work, you hit the bed and cannot fall asleep! I know my husband experiences this quite frequently.
